“In the end you count the titles and if you have figure skating where you are judged by how nicely your routine is then obviously that is one point,” said Cech.

“But football is about points and goals and you need to get points to win trophies.”

Cech responded after Arsenal fans chanted: “Boring Chelsea” during their clash at the Emirates.

Arsenal have not won a trophy since the FA Cup in 2005 while Mourinho is looking to win his third title as Chelsea boss.

Chelsea boss Mourinho has been left skating on thin ice because he has been trying to respect Roman Abramovich's wishes to play more attractive football but has not been getting the results.

It has been an inconsistent season for the Blues but Cech insists that they will go from strength to strength in the second half of the campaign.

Cech added: “We are right up there - we are two points (behind Liverpool). We don't depend on anyone else.

“If we win our games we have a big chance of winning the title so it's very positive and we know that we haven't hit the best level of this team yet. We are improving and hopefully that will show.

“Jose Mourinho doesn't have a magic wand and you wave the wand and everything goes the way you want. If you come you need to find what you have in your team, learn how the people are and how they work.

“If they have different ideas for how you want the team to play it can take some time but I think we are doing well in a way that we are challenging for the title and we are still in a good position in the Champions League because we qualified.

“There are a lot of positive things. There were results we didn't like but we are improving.

“I think we need to re discover our killer instinct in the way that when we have chances to kill games off we need to do it. You can't keep your opponent alive and it happened to us many times this year.

“Even last game against Palace we could have killed the game off and we ended up fighting until the final seconds. This is one of the examples where we need to improve.

“We also looked like we were organised and looked like a team that could hit Arsenal on the counter and kill the game.

“You just need to keep working and make sure that everyone feels confident to play and that is no secret. If you work and you continue to work then obviously you will have a chance that the situation will change.

“We have players with experience. We have young players but overall we have won things in the past years which give us experience as a team so let's see if we can use that as our advantage.

“We have been in these situations many times fighting for the titles and playing under pressure before and after Christmas. Towards the end of the season you have a lot of pressure because you need to get results and hopefully our experience will pay off.

“From the six teams that are there there is only three or four points (difference) so it can be anyone the way the league is going this season. We are happy to be among the top 6 and we will try our best to get the biggest amount of points at the end of the season.”
